Putin had warned his allies of such a situation for many years, especially after the annexation of Crimea when Russia's relations with the US and European countries soured.
But while some of his close people followed his advice and kept their investments in Russia, many others bought luxurious buildings and football clubs abroad, and their companies were listed on foreign stock exchanges.
Now similar Russian billionaires can worry about their assets.
Let us know about some such Russian billionaires.
Following Russia's attack on Ukraine, the governments of Britain, the European Union, and the US announced sanctions against several Russian billionaire businessmen who are believed to be close to President Putin and hold power.
US, EU, UK imposed sanctions
Alisher Usmanov is not only one of Vladimir Putin's close people, but he is also counted among the richest people there. According to Forbes magazine, his estimated net worth is $17.6 billion.
He has been a professional swordsman, whom the European Union describes as a "businessman officer" who helps the president solve his problems.
He was born in Uzbekistan which was then part of the Soviet Union. He runs a conglomerate of companies called USM Holdings, which includes mining and telecommunications companies, and includes Megafon, Russia's largest mobile network.
The European Union announced sanctions against him on February 28, followed by similar announcements by the US and the UK. Describing the sanctions as illegitimate, he said that all the allegations against him were false.
In the UK, their investor appears in the property. He owns a house in the heart of London called Beachwood House which is worth £60 million, and in Surrey, just outside London, he owns a mansion called Sutton Place.
The UK government has confiscated both.
His business partner Farhad Moshiri is the owner of a well-known football company Everton.
And his companies USM, MegaFun, and Yota are the main sponsors of this club, and many people also believe that he could have a more role in it.
Everton withdrew sponsorship with him on Wednesday, and Moshiri resigned from USM's board.
no one banned
Roman Abramovich is a well-known Russian billionaire who owns the well-known football club Chelsea in England. But he has not yet been banned, perhaps because he is believed to have less influence than Putin's other friends.
How much influence they have in Russia has also been a matter of debate. Some believe that Putin is just bearing them, while some believe that their relationship is much closer.
Abramovich vehemently denies close links with Putin or his Kremlin government, but his $12.4 billion wealth could be at risk if sanctions are imposed.
Last week he announced that he wanted to sell the Chelsea club for £3 billion (about Rs 300 billion), and his home in Kensington Palace Gardens in London for £150 million (about Rs 15 billion) is also said to be up for sale. is available.
Abramovich built his wealth in the 1990s and is counted among the true oligarchs of the Boris Yeltsin era.
He got his biggest opportunity when he bought an oil company named Sibneft at a penny price.
His properties include the Eclipse, the third-longest yacht in the world, which sailed across the British Virgin Isles last week. Along with this, another yacht named Solaris also comes in his property, which was stationed on the shore in Barcelona.
He has started to assimilate himself from Britain in recent years. In 2018 he decided not to renew his British visa. He recently got an Israeli passport and now he travels to London on the same passport.
And before he was present in every match of the team at Stamford Bridge, his ground in Chelsea in England, now he is rarely seen there.
America imposed sanctions
When President Putin came to power, Oleg Deripakssa already had a lot of wealth, then he had assets worth $ 28 billion. But now it is understood that his wealth has come down to 3 billion dollars.
In the 90s, he struggled in the aluminum business and reached the pinnacle. The US said that he was involved in money laundering, bribery, extortion, and factionalism.
The US also alleged that "he ordered the murder of a businessman and had links to a Russian organized criminal group". He denies these allegations.
He suffered huge losses in the 2008 financial crisis, and he felt the need for Putin to overcome it. President Putin humiliated him when in front of everyone he indicated that he had stolen a pen.
Since then, he appears to have changed his position, and the Mueller Report names him as a man who was close to President Putin. The Mueller report came after a US investigation into Russian attempts to influence the 2016 US presidential election.
He founded a green energy and metals company, the N+ Group, which was listed on the London Stock Exchange, but later reduced his stake in the company to less than 50%.
When the US imposed sanctions on him in 2018. At the time, one of his major companies, Basic Element, issued a statement calling the sanctions "unfounded, ridiculous and nonsense".
He owns an Art Deco property named Hamstone House in Weybridge, Surrey County, UK, which he owns since the dispute between Britain and Russia deepened after the incident of poisoning a Russian spy Skripal in Britain, which is £18 million. Wanting to sell around one billion 80 crores.
He also has a yacht named Cleo which was in the Maldives last week.
Unlike other oligarchs facing sanctions, Deripaska has been open about the war and appealed for peace on social media. He wrote in a post- "Talks should start as soon as possible."
US and EU imposed sanctions
The European Union announced sanctions on 28 February, saying Igor Sechin's ties with Vladimir Putin are old and deep. He is believed to be one of Putin's most loyal and close advisers, as well as his personal friend, and the two are believed to have spoken daily.
He made progress by ruthlessly defeating his rivals, and is therefore called Darth Vader in the Russian press. A leaked 2008 US Embassy document described him as a man "who is so mysterious that it jokes that perhaps he does not exist, but is a myth, which the Russian government has created fear." fabricated to do."
The US imposed sanctions on him in 2014, which he described as "illegal and illegal". The US announced new sanctions on 24 February.
Sechin tried his hand in both politics and business, at times he held high positions in both fields the same time.
When Putin was the Prime Minister, Sechin was the Deputy Prime Minister, and now he is the owner of the country's giant oil company Rosneft.
He had previously worked with Putin in the St Petersburg mayor's office in the early 90s, and many believe he was with the KGB, an intelligence agency considered dangerous in Soviet times, although he never openly acknowledged it. has done.
They are settled in Russia, but no one knows how much money they have. France once seized one of his yachts, the Amour Vero, which he was told to be contacted when his second wife, Olga Sechina, kept posting pictures from the yacht. After that, they got divorced.
But despite these things, there is little chance that his overseas assets will be easily traced, and his other properties other than this yacht can be tracked and frozen.
America imposed sanctions
Alexei Miller is another old friend of Putin. He also made a success through the loyalty of President Putin. It started when he was an assistant to Putin on the Foreign Relations Committee of the St. Petersburg Mayor's Office in the 90s.
He has been the mighty head of Gazprom, Russia's state-run oil company since 2001, but his appointment was shocking, and it is believed that he was simply following the orders of his former boss.
In 2009, the US ambassador to Russia described Gazprom as an "incompetent, political and corrupt" company.
Miller was not banned after the annexation of Crimea in 2014, but in 2018 when America was included in the list, he said he was proud of it.
Then he had said after the name did not figure in the first list, I started to doubt - "Maybe there is something wrong? But finally, my name was added. It means whatever we are doing is right."
His wealth does not seem to be easily traceable outside Russia, and it is not known how much his net worth is.
